Fat transfer breast augmentation is also known as natural breast enlargement. Compared with breast augmentation within implants, fat transfer to the breasts involves using your body’s fat to enhance the size of your breasts. Breast fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure carried out under a general anaesthetic. The procedure takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to perform and is a day case procedure which means you can go home the same day and recover in the comfort of your own home. Breast fat transfer has much smaller incisions than breast enlargement with implants as the injection of fat only requires incisions no more than 2 to 3 mm in length compared with the incision needed to place implants that can be 4 to 5 cm in length.

Should I go to Turkey for breast fat transfer?
When considering fat injection cost to the breasts, it is crucial to remember that this is a highly specialised treatment that requires an expert surgeon to carry out safely and effectively. Fat transfer to the breasts involves several steps, including:
- Liposuction is used to remove excess body fat from other parts of the body, such as the stomach, hips or thighs.
- Some of the removed fat will undergo further processing to extract regenerative cells.
- The purified fat is commonly used in conjunction with the regenerative cells to form an enhanced fat graft which optimises graft survival rates.
- The fat is expertly injected into targeted areas of the breast for volume enhancement.
These steps need to be carried out meticulously to ensure that the vital fat has the highest possible chances of survival. Clinics who carry out cheap breast fat transfer procedures, as is often found in Turkey, are often taking shortcuts when performing the fat transfer procedure. If any step of the treatment is not done correctly, this significantly increases the chance of increased fat cell loss. This means that patients may need to have a repeat procedure to replenish the lost volume, which will add further expense for the patient.
